Say It With Me

Mission of the moment: to use the word "terrific" more often. It's a sorely neglected word. My friend thinks "grand" would be a more worthy undertaking so I've promised him that will be in line for the next linguistic mission.


This movie: makes me cry like a child who has lost his puppy and his mother. How is it that a movie that emotional can be so terrifically enjoyable? That is, it wasn't the best movie ever made or even ranked among my top favorites, but I still really liked it! Maybe it's the simple matter of goodness coming out of sadness being immeasurably sweeter than goodness coming without trial.
